Stamp ink maker “Tsukineko,” established in 1952, designed these markers as an alternative to an ink pad. They also work great for applying several colors to a single stamp, and reduce the mess when using stamps on the go. The beautiful colors are slightly translucent, like a mild-colored highlighter. Both ends of the marker are fitted with a thick and a thin size pen nib. You can write directly onto the paper with this marker, or use it to color in your stamps.
